The Real Real is having a 20% off sale and I thought you should know. Everything on the site is secondhand, high-end, and quite fairly priced. The sale is only through tomorrow, but it's on every item, and you have to use code REFRESH.

And psst: above and below, those picks are clickable, shoppable, and technically, just like recycling. ;)

Whatever your style or situation, there are plenty of ways to get into the Valentine's Day spirit while still supporting eco-friendly and ethical companies. Above and below are a few picks from some of my favorite brands that you can click to shop. Included are:

Maybe I should have just called this post "things I would give myself for Valentine's Day." #SELFLOVE is important!

And one more with my faves from Fleur du Mal, Josie Maran, Maison du Soir, and of course, Voluspa. And that mask...it's made in Germany using leather and Swaovski crystals by a company called Zenith. I feel like it could be used multiple times per year...masked balls, Halloween, 50 shades of Grey viewings...? ;)

These made in the USA jeans from 7 For All Mankind and Current Elliot are all majorly discounted (as in $89 down from $199) and work for fall through spring, so they're all safe as wardrobe staples, in my humble opinion. I especially like the pebbled "leather" texture on the tan skinnies, but I could see myself living in the textured black jeans by Cuurent Elliot and my moto boots.

And for some "stretch" items, I had to include this handmade sweater by Rodarte ($669 from $2990) and the silk jumpsuit (now $319 from $1,650) by Holmes and Yang, which are both majority US-made lines. Holmes and Yang is no longer in bidess, so it's your last chance to grab a piece by Katie Holmes and her stylist, if you're into that.

The 2014 Holiday Edition of My Fair Gift Guide was a labor of love, and it would not have been possible without the contributions of my fellow eco-bloggers. In the coming weeks, I will be introducing you to some of the guest curators who contributed to the guide. First up: Amy!

Amy lives in New York City and writes about quality items made in the USA on her blog, The American-Made Guide to Life. She loves lip balm, her favorite pair of jeans, hot chocolate, Pilates, and math.What are your three favorite items from your curated collection
and why?The
Tradlands buffalo check plaid shirt is insanely cozy and the fit is
perfect. My Bella cashmere socks get a lot of wear in the winter.
They're luxurious, soft, and great for wearing with knee-high boots.But most of all, I love my
shearling-lined Bean boots. They keep my feet dry and warm in snowy
weather, are reasonably priced, and come with a lifetime warranty.

What is your (latest) favorite ethical brand/product and why? Right now, I'm obsessed
with everything from the Faribault Woolen Mill Co. They have gorgeous,
well-made blankets, throws, scarves, and accessories. Their recent
collection for Target is all priced under $100 without compromising that
traditional Faribault feel. They also just launched a small collection
of capes and vests that are just divine.

Do you have a go-to or signature holiday gift you like to give?

I
always give my family members a pair of socks and they now request it.
The key is getting a pair that is a bit more luxurious or whimsical than
the person would get for themselves. There are so many great options in
terms of textiles, colors, and patterns.
